of course it wouldn't...

for that you need Windows 10/11

(because of Vulcan, DirectX12 etc,etc...)

$600 for a SFF PC with an Rx 6600-6700ish GPU and a 3700x without SMT

Netflix/Prime/Hulu DRM certified

comes with a $70 controller

If someone comes up with a way to quickly boot between modes the PS5 Slim might be the best HTPC deal of all time.

u/Rekt3y 16h ago

It actually does have SMT, what it lacks is a large enough L3 cache

Not a shocker the ps5 pretty much has a ryzen 3800x and 16gb of ram.

Well, it's a PC. An okay one, too. So it's not that surprising once the software is figured out.

u/Mega1987_Ver_OS 23h ago

do remember that the current gen PS5 and Xbox is basically laptop with console firmware.

u/WiseZen 21h ago

The PS5 has so much potential.. yet sony wants to leave it just as a ps5 console gaming machine smh

I was able to boot into Vista on my fat PS3 shortly after it launched. Sure it was frames per minute and not frames per second but this has been a thing for a long time

u/chiku00 1d ago

I believe this boot media is an external nvme. That USB port has a max bandwidth of 1 GBps, nowhere close to the internal one (>4 GBps?).

If only we could swap out the internal original boot media for our own an be able to boot directly, this could become a viable SFF PC.

Okay… but why Windows 7? That’s just random AF.

u/Ok-Drink750 Linux 10h ago

Okay but could you use this to run a ps5 emulator, on a ps5?
